    Today's confessions: I am hoarding Oreos in my nightstand because I don't want to share them with anyone else in my house. I also purposely buy stuff no one likes so I can have it all to myself. I do not feel bad about either of these things.

    I confessed my dresser drawer hoard already. That backfired on me, though, because I ATE THEM ALL in three days... I confess I am currently determining a new stash place. I'm thinking about the closet in the office. No one ever goes in there. Or maybe the top of the coat closet, but that might be too close to my bedroom.

    If you are hiding it from yourself does that work? Can you get someone else to hide it for you?

    I was hiding it from the hubs and the boy. It backfired because it was too close in proximity to me. I won't get up and leave the bedroom to get a snack while reading in bed, but if it's already in the bedroom, it's apparently going to be inhaled.

    I've had the Oreos in my nighstand for several weeks and I haven't eaten a single one. Mostly because I HATE having crumbs in the bed.

    Someone put a easy Oreos cheesecake recipe on my Facebook feed. I ignored it. But it looked amazing.

    See, what you do is you hang your head over the side of the bed and shove the entire cookie into your mouth at once. No crumbs! A friend told me. :wink:

    Edited I used the wrong term.

    MOTHER thread birthday is actually 1/31

    Why did we all think it was today?! Well, I'll just be early because I most likely won't be on here Sunday.

    We'll group text you. >:)

    And maybe I put it in the birthday list wrong? I admit that is possible I had a lot of issues with that event tool and the timezones stuff. I may have misled you.... I don't know but I'll take the blame.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOTHER THREAD!!! I cannot believe we've been confessing our souls to "strangers" on the internet for a year already.

    Haha I do love this.

    I checked the first post and it says Jan 31 though. :( I thought today was the birthday too.

    I had planned on getting up at 4:30 and going to the rec center to swim...but just didn't. I was awake, an just laid there until my alarm went off to go to get up for work. Now I get to dwell on my lack of discipline all day :(

    Look at it as a win for being awake. Tomorrow's goal is get out of bed. The day after, to put clothes on. I've tried setting my alarm for stupid AM. I just switch it off and go back to sleep.

    When I first started working out in the morning, I put my alarm clock across the room so I had to get out of bed to turn it off. Two and a half months later, I'm used to getting up at 5 and it's not a struggle anymore.

    I've tried that :( and downloading those alarms where you have to solve a puzzle or scan a barcode for the alarm to shut off, all to no avail. I am now at the conclusion that i am not a morning person, so no amount of tricks is going to make it happen.

    This is me. My hubby gets up and runs at 4:30am. The only thing that gets me out of bed is that I'm competitive. I can't let him get training that I don't get. It wouldn't be fair.

    I need someone to run with :( Mrs S doesn't do mornings any more than I do and she doesn't run, ever.

    I need someone to kick my butt out of bed these days. I did make it running yesterday!

    Want me to call you at 5 am when I get up?? :smiley:

    Ha, most days I am up before 5... but not very motivated. And sometimes I just feed the cats and go to back bed...I text Tammy at 5:30 (when I remember!!!). But we can text! Send me your number and I'll send you mine!

    ETA: I used to get up nearly every day at 3:30 am I just can't seem to do it anymore.

    LOL! So, @TigerNY128 will text @Oberon21 to get up and text me. And then one or all of us need to nag @orangesmartie later in the evening when it is HER morning time to run. I'm in Central time zone, so it would be earlier for me...

    That's a good plan! My run time is about 6pm I doubt you guys could haul me out of bed at 6am!!

    (this could be complete hogwash) Can you facetime and run with someone? Is that something you can do internationally? I am so ignorant on phone features and I have not facetimed (is that a word) in my life. (Head down, not a good suggestion.)

    Haha I don't know if it's possible, and I have android, so probably not and who on earth wants to look at my sweaty face?? Even Mrs s disappears when I'm on the treadmill, and she purports to love me ;)

    Confession: I could not find matching socks today after looking for several minutes. So, I chose to wear boots instead of the flats I had planned on (and my socks don't match).

    I see nothing wrong in this

    Ha! I should look up my anniversary date. I think I started in February posting in here. Or March. It took me a while to have the guts to post. And it was a few hundred pages in when I started reading. Susie looked it up for me once but I don't remember the actual date.

    We are coming up on our one year "confessions" anniversary, you guys. As in this Friday. Craziness! :heart:

    <3.

    I'll be celebrating by driving 500 miles to attend my daughter's spur of the moment wedding. :neutral:

    YAYYY!!! I demand pictures!!

    I'm sure there will be tons of pictures. Speaking of pictures, I probably should figure out what I'm going to wear, mother of the bride and all...

    Have a safe trip and I know you will look great!!
    I am going to sign myself up for the Insane Inflatable 5K. It just looks too fun. I may or may not also sign up for the Gritty Goddess again. Still thinking about it.

    What is an insane inflatable 5K?

    They set up inflatables throughout the course and you have to climb through them and then run to the next one. I have never run one, but they are fun to watch...

    That does sound fun. I am surprised I haven't heard of them.

    That is my kind of race. It sounds like SO much fun!

    I bet we could find one of these close enough to us that we could do it together!

    We should do this for the birthday - all find our first post dates and compare!
